What are some associations you have with fall? Do you call it autumn or fall?

To welcome in one of my favorite seasons, I made some pecan pumpkin bread. Although you could eat this year round, the association of pumpkin with Halloween and Thanksgiving decorations fits in with celebrating the first day of autumn.

Bake for 45-55 minutes and voila! Serve with a warm mug of tea or chai or even a glass of milk!

Post-baking thoughts: I added pecans, but I’ve been using this recipe for years and have experimented with adding walnuts, cranberries, apples and mini chocolate chips. Each one, or a combo of sorts, turn out great! I would be interested in adding a banana.
